Shouldn't there be a section on the UKU website for potential sponsors?
Even the houston ultimate website has this! http://www.houstonultimate.org/

> Info I think should be there:

> 5 GB Teams (Juniors, Women, Mixed, Open & Masters) have been selected;

>
> Link to the tournament website at www.euc2003.org <www.euc2003.org>

> Kit has been designed and is being ordered;

> - would people want it?
>
> GB Open and GB Masters teams are planning to play at BritOpen in
> Eastbourne
> - they should be worth watching!
>
> I think that this sort of information is ESSENTIAL for sponsorship bids.
